Media Silent on STL County Executive’s City/County Merger Flip Flop

Last week, when St. Louis County Executive Charlie Dooley announced at a St. Louis Post Dispatch editorial board meeting that he now was in favor of a city-county merger: “We need to (merge), the chances now are better than before, media outlets from Springfield to St. Louis heralded this surprising news.

That’s why it seemed strange to us (not really, we know the media is biased) that when a Dooley spokesperson tried to walk back his comments a couple of days later, only one journalist (Jo Mannies of all people! One of the LAZIEST reporters in Missouri media) thought it was worthy enough to cover! Another glaring example of why the burgeoning new media is kicking your butts. Keep up the good work lame stream media!
